Consider the lilies of the field

I chanced upon a secret garden, a quiet Eden
In which a steady river flows.

My heart gladdens.

I have been searching for a long time
It has been a long long time…

I wearied of searching
I resigned myself to sitting in the dust

And now
It has unlocked itself and I am startled.
It’s always been just round the corner

It is scary
Dreams up close are a little frightening.

You are not in the garden now
I know not where you are
But that’s alright
I hear your voice from all around

I am safe
Protected, within these 4 walls
There’s no one here, just the sky above and I

That’s okay.
I shall lie down and sleep for a while
And consider the lilies of the field.

I'm home.
